AI Fringe is back for 2025! Organised by Milltown Partners in close collaboration with our partners and the wider UK AI ecosystem, the Fringe will be back on 11 and 12 February - around the AI Action Summit in Paris. We’re really looking forward to bringing together a diverse set of voices from across sectors and geographies to explore the themes and outcomes from the AI Action Summit and what they mean for policymakers, businesses and citizens. We’ll be back at the British Library Knowledge Centre, and this time we’ll also be running activities in Paris alongside our partners to get involved with the discussion on the ground.

Welcome to the team, Vincent Manancourt! We're so excited to have you on board 👋

“The thing I’m proudest of at Milltown is the impact we’ve had with our clients, and the number of great jobs we’ve created. We're now an employee owned trust and I’m really proud of that”. We loved this conversation between our Co-Founder D-J Collins and the brilliant Dorothy Chou on her podcast Hidden Value. Listen through the link in comments to learn more about his vision for founding Milltown Partners, and why it’s important to challenge the status quo.

We always love collaborating with great partners on events, and this week we welcomed the brilliant Whataboutisms at our London office for an evening of networking and a panel discussion. Our own Isobel moderated while Ketki featured on the panel alongside Simon and Ella who shared their insights into how the media storytelling landscape is changing. Looking forward to more collaborations like this in the future!

We really enjoyed supporting Balderton Capital to develop their Founder’s Guide. It's a must-read for anyone trying to build a business in the rapidly-changing world of AI policy and regulation.

Earlier this week, we hosted a small group of friends and colleagues at the gallery of world-renowned portrait artist Jonathan Yeo in London. Jonathan shared reflections from his fascinating career with our guests, including how he tells stories through his portraits, his views on the use of technology in art, and his recent experience painting King Charles III. Many thanks to Jonathan and team for sharing their time and beautiful space with us 🖌

🚀When we said we were back, we meant every word 🚀 After a successful first event, we’re thrilled to announce our next exciting discussion in partnership with Milltown Partners . Join us on November 20th, 2024, as we tackle a pressing question about the state of journalism today: Is the decline of print newspapers a bad thing, or is it just a natural evolution? 🤔 The Evening Standard recently transitioned from a daily print edition to a weekly one...it’s clear that change is in the air. Research from Press Gazette reveals that social media now captures 33% of Britons' news consumption—surpassing printed publications at just 15%! 📊 But what does this mean for the future of print media? Are we witnessing the end of an era, or is this a chance to innovate and adapt? Let’s explore together! 🔍 What to Expect on the Night: * Thought-Provoking Panel Discussions: Engage with industry leaders and peers as we dissect the future of journalism. * Networking Opportunities: Connect with fellow communicators , journalists, and industry experts *All-round Satisfaction: thinking of food and drink plans? not too worry, this night will leave you with a tummy full of thoughts and refreshments Tickets to this event are now up on eventbrite 👉 https://lnkd.in/gezjwBUa
